Phys.org / A Hall 'rectenna' can detect signals over a 100 GHz frequency range
Many current wireless communication, imaging and sensing technologies rely on components that convert oscillating electric and magnetic fields (i.e., electromagnetic waves) into electrical signals. Some of the most used components ...
Phys.org / The 'silent takeover': Invasive bees are reshaping Chile's unique pollination networks
Biological invasions are a major driver of biodiversity loss and invasive pollinators can reshape native plant-pollinator networks. A new study published in the journal NeoBiota reveals that invasive pollinators are fundamentally ...
Phys.org / Unlocking longevity insights from ancient bristlecone pine
What can the world's longest living individual teach us about longevity? A team of scientists coordinated by the University of California, Davis, sequenced the Great Basin bristlecone pine genome, which could help unlock ...
Phys.org / China's earliest Bronze Age meteoritic iron artifact unearthed at Sanxingdui sacrificial site
In a study published in Archaeological Research in Asia, Dr. Haichao Li and a team of researchers analyzed the earliest Bronze Age meteoritic iron artifact from southwestern China, the largest found to date in the country. ...
Phys.org / First quantum oscillations observed in gallium nitride holes
Gallium nitride, a semiconductor that can operate at high voltages, temperatures, and frequencies, has enabled technologies from LED lighting to high-power electronics. Now Cornell researchers have observed a quantum property ...
Medical Xpress / Mitochondrial capsule transplantation therapy shows potential for major diseases
Chinese researchers have developed a novel and highly efficient mitochondrial capsule transplantation therapy, achieving the safe and efficient transplantation of healthy mitochondria into cells and tissues for the first ...
Phys.org / Novel approach allows studying the DNA of otters without disturbing them
Studying endangered animal species without disturbing them and disrupting their natural habitat could be highly advantageous, as it would contribute to their protection and prevent unnecessary stress. Conventional methods ...
Medical Xpress / Ultra-processed foods linked to reduced fertility and embryonic development
Eating large amounts of ultra-processed food (UPF) is linked not only to reduced fertility in men, but also to slower growth in early embryos, and smaller yolk sacs, which are essential for early embryonic development, according ...
Phys.org / Ancient sling bullet delivers a 2,100-year-old taunt: 'Learn your lesson!'
For millennia, sling bullets served as a hand-thrown projectile that could be used to fend off enemies. At Hippos, 70 sling bullets made of lead have been recovered over the course of fieldwork and excavation. However, while ...
Medical Xpress / Genetic weakness may help target deadly small cell neuroendocrine cancers
UCLA researchers have uncovered a hidden weakness in some of the deadliest cancers, revealing a potential new strategy for targeting tumors that have long resisted treatment. Small cell neuroendocrine cancers, aggressive ...
Phys.org / Wildflower folk remedy shows modern potential for tackling antibiotic resistance
Scientists have proven that a wildflower steeped in folklore for its medicinal powers has genuine healing qualities—and the potential to help combat antibiotic resistance. Tormentil, a yellow wildflower found in heath and ...
Medical Xpress / A new glioblastoma target: Blocking CD47 protein's tumor-driving role may slow growth
Australian researchers have uncovered a critical mechanism driving the growth and spread of glioblastoma—one of the most aggressive and lethal forms of brain cancer—potentially paving the way for more effective treatments. ...
